Deputy Local Government Minister, Martin Agyei Mensah Korsah, has taken a swipe at the opposition National Democratic Congress for what he claims are constant attempts by the latter to thwart government's effort at making the economy better.

The deputy minister says he cannot wrap his head around the minority belief that they are better in governance than this current administration.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Hon Korsah, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Techiman South, recalled how Ghanaians suffered under the bad leadership of the NDC government, pointing out that it took the intervention of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to bring the economy to a sure footing.

According to him, "a government that has weathered the storm of COVID-19 and the ongoing Russia-Ukrainian war cannot be compared to a government that had everything at their disposal yet they failed woefully against dumsor.

"Look at what the hardship the NDC through their leader John Dramani Mahama made Ghanaians to go through over the past years, but they claim to be better than the Akufo-Addo led government," he said.

He argued further that Ghanaians would have been more miserable if the NDC was to be in power in these difficult times of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukrainian war.

"I believe government should be applauded for the various interventions it has provided to cushion the economy . . ., " he added.
